General

In the summary section of the report, why the percentage values are not the same as in the corresponding original reports?

The summary for the percentage values is only an average based on values for all reported classes. At the opposite, the coverage tools, for example, compute the real number of lines covered against the total lines of codes. So far, it is the only way we could implement this summary.

Aggregators

Why is there no data generated by the Checkstyle aggregator ?

Check that you are using a version >= 3.0 of the Maven Checkstyle Plugin.

Otherwise, you need to change these properties:

# Properties for the Checkstyle error/warning/info aggregator (all errors/warnings/infos)
maven.author.aggregator.csall.artifact      = ${maven.build.dir}/checkstyle-raw-report.xml
maven.author.aggregator.csall.report        = checkstyle-report.html

# Properties for the Checkstyle error aggregator (only errors)
maven.author.aggregator.cserrors.artifact   = ${maven.build.dir}/checkstyle-raw-report.xml
maven.author.aggregator.cserrors.report     = checkstyle-report.html

# Properties for the Checkstyle warning aggregator (only warnings)
maven.author.aggregator.cswarnings.artifact = ${maven.build.dir}/checkstyle-raw-report.xml
maven.author.aggregator.cswarnings.report   = checkstyle-report.html

# Properties for the Checkstyle info aggregator (only infos)
maven.author.aggregator.csinfos.artifact    = ${maven.build.dir}/checkstyle-raw-report.xml
maven.author.aggregator.csinfos.report      = checkstyle-report.html
